Harington, Amy Lucas, Mike Poulton, Alex Zoology Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. Phytoplankton community composition in the Southern Ocean (SO) determines levels of primary production, which support marine ecosystems and export of material to the deep sea. Nanoplankton (cell diameters 2-20 μm) are poorly resolved by traditional microscopy, and it is becoming apparent that unknown diversity and ecosystem functionality may be contained in this size class: for example, small diatoms (< 10 μm) appear widespread in the SO, and may limit our understanding of the response of phytoplankton communities to climate change. 2014-08-13T14:20:52Z 2014-08-13T14:20:52Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6267 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
